    I wanna agree, especially with how performative the fist pump is, but at the same time, someone did die, right? That’s the part that makes me lean towards this as a real assassination attempt. But maybe it was an accepted cost of doing this?

    I dunno, at this point I think I just need to take a break from news communities and wait for real investigations, I’m losing my mind with the speculations
















  • I luckily don’t have any major incidents but a couple stick out in my memory.

    First time I realized an encounter was racist was my first time at a summer camp in the US around age 12.

    I went with a friend to line up for the showers in the morning and it was just us two and another kid. I barely noticed he was there cause I was caught up in conversation. Not long later some other kids walk in and the waiting kid just blurts out in relief “Thank god, I was the only white guy here!” And even in my innocent, privileged little 12 year old brain I knew that was kind of fucked up.

    Also had a South African girl break up with me as a teen cause her parents literally cited my nationality as an issue… While they were living in my country…



  • I know people like the FOSS apps like Jerboa, but I wasn’t into the interface. I heard there were big changes since I tried it though so maybe it’s good now.

    That said, Boost is my daily driver. Was happy with the Reddit version so I paid for the ad free Lemmy version too. Everything works and it’s all smooth and intuitive (to me at least).

    I also tried Sync and I do think it’s nicer than Boost but WAY more expensive to go ad free.
